FREE E-BOOK · DORMANCY PLAYBOOK

Find, Measure, and Re-Engage Your Dormant Subscribers

Your subscribers are paying. They’ve stopped watching. You can’t tell the difference.

A practical framework for finding, measuring, and re-engaging the dormant subscribers hiding in your “active” base, before they quietly cancel.

What You’ll Get

What's Inside the Playbook

Everything you need to detect subscriber dormancy before it becomes churn, and act on it before the window closes.

1. The four-state framework

A subscriber classification model that replaces the industry’s Active/Churned binary with four states: Engaged, Dormant, At-Risk, and Churned, with metrics, thresholds, and recommended actions for each.

2. Seven viewership signals that detect dormancy early

Each signal comes with a healthy benchmark, a dormancy threshold, and a churn benchmark drawn from real subscriber transaction data. Track them at the individual level and you’ll see dormancy forming weeks before it becomes churn.

3. Four re-activation campaign templates

Ready-to-adapt templates for each stage of disengagement: from the early nudge (zero cost) to the last-window offer (monetary, guard-railed). Each includes the trigger, timing, channel, example message, and cost level.
